GRAND RAPIDS, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota hometown of Judy Garland, the actress who wore a pair of ruby slippers in "The
Wizard of Oz," is raising money to purchase the prized footwear
after it was stolen from a local museum and then later turned
over to an auction company.
Grand Rapids, Minnesota, where the late actress was born in
1922, is fundraising at its annual Judy Garland festival, which
kicks off Thursday. The north Minnesota town is soliciting
donations to bring the slippers back after an auction company
takes them on an international tour before offering them up to prospective buyers in December.

On June 20, 1975, Jaws, a film directed by Steven Spielberg that
made countless viewers afraid to go into the water, opened in
theaters. The story of a great white shark that terrorizes a New
England resort town became an instant blockbuster and the
highest-grossing film in movie history until it was bested by
1977’s Star Wars.
Jaws was nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Picture
category and took home three Oscars, for Best Film Editing,
Best Original Score and Best Sound. The film, a breakthrough
for director Spielberg, then 27 years old, spawned several
sequels.
